Recommendation 15
15
Deferred
Paragraph: 93
Dual responsibilities for MoD climate change director hinder urgent decarbonisation efforts.
Conclusion
Given increasing scientific concerns around failing to hold to the 1.5° limit on warming and the need for Defence to transition from establishing a comprehensive baseline of carbon emissions in Epoch 1 to significantly reducing emissions in Epoch 2, having the climate change director also responsible for the Union and Levelling-Up in the Ministry of Defence may be too distracting for the important work that needs to be achieved at pace.
Government Response Summary
The government's response for this conclusion consists only of a page reference and provides no substantive comment on the committee's observation that the dual responsibility of the climate change director may be too distracting.
